Leah James is a photographic, video, and performance artist based in New York City. Her work speaks to the importance of representation, and is focused on the deconstruction and disillusionment of societal concepts. Her still works function as a type of mark making which often refer back to and attempt to rewrite history. Meanwhile her video and performance work, like puzzle pieces, fill in the blanks to speak about the contemporary complexities of her experiences and identity as a transfeminine person.
